let me preface this thread by saying it isn't a Howie thread. I love drawing and I will never stop. But it does require effort to start! And I can easily find myself putting it off for a week or even a month [and then wonder why I feel off].
Are there mutants here for whom drawing, especially starting a drawing, flows almost effortlessly? Anyone who finds it harder to not draw than to draw?
Was this cultivated or have you always been this way? What does your work look like?

1. Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox (https://catbox.moe) or any off-site that hosts images for your works. You may also link back to /b/.

2. Be smart, keep discussion to 2D Anime/Cartoon characters only. Do not post chiId photo references (legal or otherwise), and do not talk about issues regarding real children.

3. It is recommended to let the thread reach page 7 before starting a new one.

I think you can get a more accurate read when checking behavior:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/52f8661fc68112f0f01ff42664f9619c1b25bb1bb51793c1a0b9352d95cee192/behavior

I'm no expert, but it does seem to align some of these flags are because the package isn't signed. Not sure why they dropped the exe on desktop instead of just a shortcut though.

If there is something happening, the powershell stuff looks the most suspicious to me. Not sure why you would ever need to use it when you're shipping compiled code.
>>
>>7986619
found this post from google, probably a terrible mistake posting on 4chan but fuck it

Codesigning aside, in order to keep it as a single portable exe, the app handles self updating via writing out a batch script to replace the exe with the new one when there's an update which seems to be flagged as a malicious pattern. I'm not primarily a windows user, (I was a long time ago) so my knowledge of the best way to handle this is hazy, if you can recommend an alternate/better method I'd appreciate it honestly.
>>
>>7986651
Is there a hard requirement for the portable application to only be a single executable? If not, i would just ship a second binary dedicated to updating and starting the application.

If it is, you're best bet is probably the following:
1. Main application downloads the update along with an updater to a temporary location.
2. Main application opens the updater, passes its own process id, path, etc., and closes itself.
3. Updater waits for main application to closes, replaces the binary with the updated one, and runs it.

This way, you can also checksum and verify the signature of the updater itself.

Thanks for the response honestly, I tried this and it didn't seem to make a difference unfortunately, seems as long as its unsigned its just a crapshoot, just gonna have to wait. Its annoying that msft azure requires like 3 years of tax filings to get a cert through them so I have to go through ssl.com which is taking a million years to progress.

I like Steve Huston's style but I find it hard to imitate digitally.
Is there a digital artist that is similar to him but uses digital methods instead of Alla prima oil painting
I use csp btw. Should I change software in order to get a closer texture to oil?
Can I use a standard round brush or do I have to use special colormix settings in order to get the desired effect

Yes? Many 3D artists also learn all about perspective.

Technical perspective and super-measured stuff are more for work related to engineering. You don't actually do full precise measures when drawing artistically. You learn the concepts and quick paths so you can work with good guesses as most artists do. The main reason to learn fundamentals is to be able to notice issues, why they are issues, how to verify, and know how to fix them.

Am I going to waste my time by drawing bridgman twice? I like art because that I could draw cool anime stuff.

Like those cute anime girls with them big titties.

I wanted to do vilppu and loomis instead as they can translate well into anime figures because they are more curvier and alive than bridgman's still and lumpy box corpses.

Both, but it depends on what you're doing.

Drawing from imagination/memory is best used for drawing from photo reference.

Constructive drawing is best used for life drawing.

https://lifedrawing.academy/life-drawing-academy-news/why-you-need-constructive-drawing-to-draw-portraits

>Likewise learning how to draw a cube from life is not about drawing cubes. The same as rendering tonal values of a sphere is not about drawing a ball. Such exercises prepare an artist for constructive drawing, which is based on fundamental principles, such as perspective, proportions, rules of chiaroscuro, etc. After getting the needed knowledge, an artist might never draw a Greek profile, cube or sphere ever again, but this experience will give such an artist the needed skills to draw whatever one sees or imagines. It doesn't matter that some models do not have the same proportions as Greek busts. A classical canon is the guidance of what to measure, not what to apply in every drawing.

>What you have in mind is called drawing from observation. This is what many colleges teach art students these days; this is why so many art college graduates cannot draw. What we teach is called "constructive drawing". When you know it, you do not need "lots of observation", as you put it, because constructive approach gives the skills observational artists don't have.
>>
>>7987051
You're a little confused.
You do one pass copying from the reference, but you don't copy it like a bargue plate, i.e. copying line by line. You build it up from a sketch as if you were drawing it from imagination but using the reference and striving for accuracy. On your second pass-through you draw it from memory.
